a crème is the French translation for “cream”. we prefer this version of the term as it describes the product beautifully – light and fluffy, but with some serious substance. it’s one step heavier than a lotion and deeply hydrates.
when and how do I use a facial crème or cream?
we love to use it twice daily, after our morning and evening cleanses. begin with our oatmeal cleansing milk, follow with the lotus flower & rosewater toner, and then apply the jasmine serum to damp skin. follow with the lotus & lychee facial crème if needed, and finish with your bakuchiol & pomegranate facial oil to lock in moisture.

a moisturizer is used to restore hydration in the skin, while a cream or crème also adds a barrier layer to seal in moisture.
